Submission.
From the ST. Louis dispatch.

If the Democrats show proper le-
spect to the right of petition and sub
NIT that Prohibition amendment, with
the McGinnis amendment providing
for fair compensation for the dam
ages Prohibition will infict upon
lawfully vested interests and lawful
ly established industries, an effectual
quietus will be put upon the clamor
of the Prohibitlonists. Prohibition
would lift a huge volume of taxation
from the consumption of liquors and
devolye the same upon the property
and earnings of people who now pay
but little of the State and municipal
revenues derived from the liquor
trade. When in addition to this new
taxation the people of Missouri begin
to count the cost of compensating for
the property Prohibition would dam
age Or destroy, there would be very
few inclined to vote Prohibition into
the Constitution. In view of that
Kansas decision of Judge Brewers,
it is not improbable that we should
have big damages to pay ven with
out McGInnis' proposed compensa-
ton clause. 1t is at least a question
that will enter into any vote for the
Prohibition amendment, and with OF
without the McGinnis attachment
the amendment will be defeated. But
it should be submitted all the same.
What we Think About Prohibition.
From the New York Sun.
Some recent remarks in these
columns on the rapid growth of pro.
hibitionlst sentiment during the past
two years have led our esteemed and
contemporary, the Voice, to indulge
in day dreams.
We do not believe in prohibition
either in theory or in practice. The
principle of the Maine law is al
wrong. In its practical operation il
has been proved to be deplorably in.
effectual as a temperance measure.
If we believed that the principle
was all right, we nevertheless should
not favor the adoption of a prohibito.
~ law in New York, because VIC
should have no confidence in the pos
sibllity of enforcing it.
If we believed, on the other hand
that prohibition could be enforced.
we should oppose the system because
it would be oppressive, unjust, and
restrictive of personal rights.
But our opinion of prohibition
does not diminish our respect fol
those who advocate it honestly be
lleving it to be the right remedy fol
evils which everybody acknowledges,
Nor does opinion of prohibition
prevent us from watching with inter,
est and reporting with scrupulous
accuracy the growth of the prohibi.
! ton movement.
